Based on Naomi Alderman’s book, the film follows a woman (Weisz) as she returns from New York after the death of her estranged rabbi father to the Orthodox Jewish community in North London where she grew up. Once home, she stirs up controversy when she shows an interest in a childhood friend. Lelio and Rebecca Lenkiewicz penned the screenplay.

Film4 developed the film and co-financed with FilmNation which is handling international sales. Bleecker Street’s Kent Sanderson and Avy Eschenasy struck the deal with WME Global and FilmNation on behalf of the filmmakers.
